5.0 out of 5 stars The absolute finest in light, elegant, and exquisite faire, June 6, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Wild Sweets is a coffee-table style cookbook of dessert creations that are based upon wild ingredients and delight the senses in their unique taste, texture, and visual appeal. Full-color, full-page photographs illustrate delicacies that transcent the level of common treats into works of three-dimensional, perishable yet sublime art. Descriptive prose recipes, extensive instructions concerning such processes as fermentation, plating, and the art of presentation, tips on safely acquiring wild ingredients, and much more fill this sumptuous feast for all the senses. Highly recommended delicacies include Red Curry Squash Flan with Gnocchi and Coconut Curry Foam; Wheat Berry Pudding with Candied Black Olives; Icewine Gelee with Coconut Milk Sabayon and Pumpkin Seed Croquant, and so much more. A superb resource for the absolute finest in light, elegant, and exquisite faire.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Canadian chef-in-training, June 14, 2004
By A Customer
Excellent book. A good addition to any chef-in-training's repitior of cookbooks. I keep this book around as a reference for design plating inspirations and to expose my growing vocabulary of exotic ingredients.

Its also nice to see a Canadian authoring such books of high skill level amongst the more simpler books (ie Canadian Living). The Dubey's are masters in their fields, chocolate, and I had the honor of meeting them during a demonstrations.

This book comes highly recommended by a student of the arts.
